We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the Product advised to you is correct. However please see Clause 14.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the Product you order.

1.42 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT or sales taxes. If the rate of VAT or sales tax changes between your order date and the date we supply the Product, we will adjust the rate of VAT or the sales tax that you pay, unless you have already paid for the Product in full before the change in the rate of VAT or sales tax takes effect.

1.43 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable care, some of the Products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the Product's correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the Product's correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the Contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any Products provided to you.

1.44 When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment with all major credit and debit cards. You must pay for the Products before we dispatch them.
